Zhezhi Wuthering Waves Build Guide: Best Weapon, Echoes, Teams, Skills, and Materials

Zhezhi Overview

Zhezhi is a 5-star Glacio Rectifier Resonator released on August 15, 2024. She is a premium support-sub-DPS with high value in Glacio teams and coordinated-damage shells, especially when paired with strong field carries who want clean damage amplification and extra utility.

Zhezhi is worth pulling if you actively use Carlotta or other premium Glacio carries. She is less universal than the broadest sustain supports, but within her best teams she is one of the most rewarding support investments.

If you are preparing pulls or weapon resources, Topuplist offers a convenient recharge option through the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page.

Kit Snapshot

Zhezhi combines buff utility, coordinated damage support, and meaningful personal output in a short field-time package. Her value is highest when she can hand the field to a strong carry immediately after setup.

Materials

Material Type	What to Farm
Ascension boss material	Sound-Keeping Tacet Core x46
Local specialty	Lanternberry x60
Enemy drops	LF Howler Core x4, MF Howler Core x12, HF Howler Core x12, FF Howler Core x4
Forte materials	Lento Helix x5, Adagio Helix x5, Andante Helix x8, Presto Helix x11
Weekly material	Monument Bell x4
Forte enemy drops	LF Howler Core x5, MF Howler Core x5, HF Howler Core x5, FF Howler Core x9
Shell Credit	170,000 for ascension, 280,000 for one main Forte to level 10

Zhezhi's released material route is already stable. If you are prefarming deeply, Lanternberry and the full Howler Core upgrade line are the parts most players underestimate at first.

Final Verdict

Zhezhi is a high-value premium support for players who actively use Glacio or coordinated-damage teams. She is not universal enough to be mandatory for everyone, but in the right teams she is excellent.

For players preparing Glacio teams, Topuplist and the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page can make pull planning easier.
